from Akron Beacon Journal
During the college wrestling season countless hours are spent practicing. Five months are spent competing. Five seconds of that time isn't much at all.

from MSNsportsNET.com
A small leap from one state to another in order to further one’s education seems relatively normal these days, especially for athletes. However, travel more than 3,000 miles, from the West Coast of the United States to the East Coast, and that will likely raise some eyebrows.

from The Daily Princetonian

This will make winning dual meets difficult, as Princeton will cede 12 points in every match. The team’s focus going down the stretch will be on individuals.
